Am interested in hearing what was found by OP with respect to differential oil level. I purchased a 2016 Limited 4R in January of 2017 with 2 miles on odometer. I'm anal and decided to check the "hard to get to" fluids at 500 miles. Both differentials were low (i.e., couldn't pinky touch fluid...

I recommend checking the differentials and transfer case at least once, even if you don't drain/refill. I purchased a 2016 Limited 4R in January of 2017 with 2 miles on odometer. Checked the "hard to get to" fluids at 500 miles. Both differentials were low (i.e., couldn't touch fluid through...

:iagree: Encountered similar issue trying to find transfer case oil for my 2016 Tacoma (part-time 4WD). After much research I came to a similar conclusion as ColtM4. LF appears to be a Toyota designation, similar to LT (non-LSD differential oil) and LX (for LSD differentials). My research...
